The Slate Landscape of Northwest Wales
The Slate Landscape of North West Wales demonstrates the transformation of the traditional rural environment of the Snowdon Mountains and Valleys by industrial slate quarrying and mining. Stretching from the top of the hill to the coast, this land presented both opportunities and constraints. Large-scale industrialisation processes undertaken by landowners and capital investors exploited these opportunities and constraints and reshaped the agricultural landscape into an industrial centre for slate production during the Industrial Revolution (1780-1914). The property consists of six sections, each of which includes surviving quarries and mines, archaeological sites associated with industrial processing of slate, historic settlements (both living and remains), historic gardens and grand country houses, ports, docks and quays, and railway and road systems, which demonstrate the functions and social connections of the surviving slate industrial landscape. The site is of international importance not only for the export of slate, but also for the export of skilled workers from the 1780s to the early 20th century. It has played a leading role in the industry, setting a model for other slate quarries around the world, and providing an important and outstanding example of the exchange of materials, technology and human values.
Viñales Valley
The Viñales Valley is surrounded by mountains and the landscape is dotted with dramatic rocky outcrops. Traditional agricultural production techniques are still used, especially tobacco production. The vernacular architecture of the farms and villages enhances the quality of this cultural landscape, which still preserves a rich multi-ethnic society that reflects the cultural development of the Caribbean islands and Cuba.
Blaenavon Industrial Landscape
The area around Blaenavon is evidence of South Wales' pre-eminence as a major iron and coal producer in the world during the 19th century. All the necessary elements are still visible - coal and ore mines, quarries, the original railway system, furnaces, workers' homes and the social infrastructure of their communities.
Shougang Industrial Cultural Tourism Zone
From Fushi Road to Chang'an Avenue in the south, in this 1.96 square kilometer industrial heritage park in the old factory area, visitors can not only go deep into the blast furnace and take a small train, but also experience the most nostalgic Shougang soda and canteen tray meals, and become an authentic Shougang person. Shougang Industrial Culture Scenic Area is a national industrial tourism demonstration site. It is based on the industrial production activities of Shougang Group, with the theme of "How Steel is Made" and the steel production process as the main line, allowing visitors to experience the spectacular scenes of steel production and the style of modern industrial enterprises. The scenic area is located in Shijingshan District, Beijing. The retro feel of the iron sheet factory is combined with the historical sense of the Shijingshan ancient building complex. The vigorous steel production scene is organically combined with the lake and mountain scenery, and people and nature are in harmony.
